FACE-BLEACH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 16, 1905.

Patented May 4, 1909.

Serial No. 250,385.

5 Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Faoe-Bleaches, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a new and useful composition of matter designed to be used as a facial bleacher and Whitener to remove tan, sun-burns, freckles, etc. and at the'same time to exert a curative, as well as antiseptic eifect upon the epidermis.

In making my composition I first secure the juice of practically ripe cucumbers by boiling and strainin the cucumbers. I then take eight ounces of the cucumber juice and an equal quantity of alcohol and combine the same with one ounce of powdered soap letting the same stand over night, or an equivalent length of time, shaking the same well at intervals. I then take four pints of cucumber juice, one tablespoonful of tincture of benzoin, two ounces of oil of sweet almonds,

and two teaspoonfuls of boric acid thoroughly shaking the ingredients together. The composition thus obtained may be applied to the skin Without any injurious efiects, in fact .will act as a curative, antiseptic agent. Where the skin is tanned, sun-burned or covered with freckles the application of the solution will thoroughly remove the same, leaving the skin soft and white. By the use of my composition the disagreeable facial effects of summer outings may be quickly removed.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The process of making a face bleach consisting in extracting the juice of ripe cucumbers by boiling and straining, mixing eight ounces of the juice with an equal volume of alcohol and with one ounce of powdered soap and shaking the mixture at intervals during twelve hours and then thoroughly incorporating the resultant mixturewith four pints of cucumber juice, one tablespoonful of tincture of benzoin, two ounces of oil of sweet almonds and two teaspoonfuls of boric acid. In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
